Choosing the right coagulant is a critical decision for any water treatment facility. While Aluminum Sulfate (alum) has been a long-standing option, Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) has increasingly become the preferred choice due to its superior efficiency and overall cost-effectiveness. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality PAC, and we want to highlight why it offers significant advantages over traditional coagulants.

A key differentiator is the dosage rate. PAC typically requires significantly lower dosages than aluminum sulfate to achieve the same level of water clarification. This reduction in chemical consumption directly translates into lower raw material costs. For example, in applications requiring removal of suspended solids water, a lower dosage of PAC can yield better results, making it a more economical choice despite a potentially higher per-unit price.

The efficiency of PAC is further evidenced by its ability to form larger, more stable flocs. These robust flocs settle faster and are more easily removed by filtration, reducing the burden on downstream processes and potentially extending filter run times. This improved settling characteristic contributes to the overall efficiency of the water treatment plant, leading to reduced operational disruptions and maintenance requirements. This is a crucial factor when considering benefits of PAC over alum.

Furthermore, PAC generally produces less sludge compared to aluminum sulfate. Sludge disposal is a significant operational cost for many water treatment facilities. By minimizing sludge volume, PAC treatment leads to substantial savings in handling, transportation, and disposal fees. This aspect of reduce sludge water treatment is increasingly important for both economic and environmental sustainability.

The performance of PAC across a wider range of pH and temperature conditions also contributes to its cost-effectiveness. Unlike aluminum sulfate, which can be sensitive to pH variations, PAC maintains its efficacy in more challenging water chemistry, reducing the need for frequent and costly pH adjustments. This inherent stability simplifies the treatment process and ensures consistent water quality.

In summary, while the initial purchase price of a chemical is a factor, true cost-effectiveness lies in the overall treatment efficiency, dosage requirements, sludge management, and operational stability. Polyaluminium Chloride excels in all these areas, offering a more economical and efficient solution for water purification. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing PAC that delivers these tangible benefits, helping our clients achieve cleaner water more sustainably and affordably.
